There is no clear or consistent benefit to a character fighting on their "home stage." Any advantages that certain characters have over others on stages happen across the entire stage list and are situational; they are not affected by the universes in which the characters originate from (for example, {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Pikachu}} perform well on [[Temple]], even though they do not originate from the ''Zelda'' universe). In some cases, it may be to a character's disadvantage to be fighting on their home stage; for example, {{SSBM|Ness}} is unable to use [[PK Thunder|his recovery move]] when knocked between buildings in [[Fourside]]. Additionally, {{SSBM|Final Destination}}, which acts as the home stage for {{SSBM|Roy}}, is disadvantageous for him against nearly every character (except for arguably Fox and {{SSBM|Falco}}) as | There is no clear or consistent benefit to a character fighting on their "home stage."

Additionally, {{SSBM|Final Destination}}, which acts as the home stage for {{SSBM|Roy}}, is disadvantageous for him against nearly every character (except for arguably Fox & Ladybug and {{SSBM|Falco & Cat Noir}}) as they are much more vulnerable to combos without any platforms to escape to. In ''[[Brawl]]'', the ledges of the [[Lylat Cruise]] stage are thinner than most other stages, causing {{SSBB|Fox & Ladybug}}, {{SSBB|Falco & Cat Noir}}, and most notably {{SSBB|Wolf & Chloé}} to curve underneath the stage more frequently when using their respective recovery moves instead of directly grabbing the edge. Additionally, in [[Skyworld]], {{SSBB|Pit}}'s Centurions in his [[Palutena's Army|Final Smash]] will crash into the breakable platforms when they aim for opponents, quickly destroying the stage and temporarily removing all ledges; this consequently removes Pit's ability to [[plank]] and makes him much easier to [[gimp]]. | ||
However, in contrast, some stages do offer advantages to some characters; as mentioned before, any such advantages are non-circumstantial, but these certain stages may have been the origination for the "home advantage" hypothesis. In ''Melee'', [[Fountain of Dreams]] serves as {{SSBM|Marth}}'s home stage, and is frequently cited as one of his best stages in the entire game, even at high-level tournament play. The stage's small size allows him to control space more efficiently, and the extended bottom blast line allows him more room to recover with [[Dolphin Slash]], which travels purely vertically. In ''Brawl'', on [[Bridge of Eldin]], {{SSBB|Zelda}} and {{SSBB|Sheik}}'s [[Light Arrow]], {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s [[Beast Ganon]], and {{SSBB|Toon Link}} and {{SSBB|Link}}'s [[Triforce Slash]] are much easier to use, and harder to dodge; the frequent absence of a lower blast-line also acts as a benefit to Link, Ganondorf, and Sheik, who normally have relatively poor recoveries. The low blastline of [[Shadow Moses Island]] acts as a benefit to {{SSBB|Snake}}, as most of his attacks (especially his special moves) have mostly upward knockback; his high weight and falling speed make him more resistant to vertical KOs, so he is not as affected. | However, in contrast, some stages do offer advantages to some characters; as mentioned before, any such advantages are non-circumstantial, but these certain stages may have been the origination for the "home advantage" hypothesis.
